Kauai County Complete Streets Policy

The State of Hawai'i requires all counties to adopt a Complete Streets Policy
(Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 2009). The County of Kaua'i adopted a
Complete Streets Policy (Resolution No. 2010-48) in September 2010. The policy
requires the County to ensure that roadway design and planning is balanced and
equitable in accommodating and encouraging travel by bicyclists, public
transportation vehicles and their passengers, and pedestrians of all ages and
abilities.

The Planning Department is working with the Department of Public Works to
implement the policy in the County’s roadway and development standards, and
through long-range plans. The County also partners with the Built Environment
Task Force of Get Fit Kaua'i to develop and monitor policy implementation.
